Foley, John
Receiver - Drake R-8
Antenna - magnetic loop
I started hearing weak music tones on 3.35 mHz at about 0212 UTC -- and very, very weak signals on 2.82 MHz.
I received slightly better signals later (around 0233 UTC) on 4.40 and 4.50 MHz. I could hear a woman's voice (in AM) reading a list of single words, such as Hotel, India, Mike, Oscar, Zulu. At times the signal levels reached S3-4 (using amateur radio operator's 1-9 scale), but their strength varied with time.
The best signals of the evening were in time period 0241 to 0245 UTC on 4.4 MHz where I again heard a woman's voice (in AM) reading single words. Signal strength at times reached S6-7, but again varied with time.
Starting about 0246 UTC) I heard very weak digital signals on both 5.1 and 6.9 MHZ.
Overall, I had weak reception most of the hour period, but with moments of readable signals, especially on 4.4 MHz.
